On February 3rd, 2010 Motorola announced the Motorola Devour for Verizon Wireless - in March 2010 it launched making it the 3rd phone for the carrier and ultimately, a more affordable version of the Motorola Droid with an added touch of Motorola Blur.

The Devour sports a 3.1-inch touchscreen, 4-row slideout QWERTY keyboard with dedicated number row and a touch-sensitive navigation pad, It does of course also have a virtual keyboard allowing you to type on the screen. Motorola's user interface 'Blur' is targeted at social networking bringing all the latest direct to the handset making this handset perfect if your into Facebook, Twitter and My Space etc. Theres also a large variety of alternative social networking apps and clients to take a choose from.

Until I held the Motorola Devour in my hands, I assumed it would be a lighter, more plasticky version of the Motorola Droid with weaker specs but a better keyboard. As you’ll learn in this review, my perception gradually quickly changed. It’s difficult to review the Devour on it’s own merits when it has the […]

News & Updates

Verizon hasn’t given up on the Motorola Devour yet. Either that or they are trying to clear their inventory shelves of in-stock units quickly to the tune of some new two-year activations. Either way you can snag the Devour free right now as part of an online exclusive when you sign up for a new […]

Just as leaked documents suggested earlier in the week, Verizon has officially announced the arrival of pre-paid data plans for their 3G devices, including BlackBerry and Android smartphones. The new deal provides unlimited data at a contract-free rate of $30 per month. For feature phones they are also making available a $10/25 MB per month […]

Motorola – one of the better manufacturers when it comes to transparency in their upgrade plans – has once again updated their chart to reflect the latest ETA on upgrades for several of their phone. We’re still waiting for Eclair to hit the CLIQ and CLIQ XT, but it shouldn’t be a long wait now […]

Verizon must be in an update happy mood as of late, first gracing us with Froyo on the Motorola Droid and now following up with an update to the Motorola Devour. Software version CALAND_X_01.15.10 won’t bring the Devour to anything 2.1 or higher, but it will provide enhancements and improvements to voice-mail, V Cast video […]

It’s been a long time coming (the device has been out since March) but Motorola Devour users can now finally say they’ve gotten the ability to root their phones. The exploit was found when some eagle-eyed hackers took what they learned from the Droid X’s root method and set out to finally crack the now-dated […]

Uh-oh. Those dreaded “end-of-life” rumors are starting back up again. This time, the original Motorola Droid and Motorola’s forgotten Devour might be on that list of devices headed out of the mill. DroidForums caught wind of an internal screen showing both of the devices as “limited” or with “no remaining shipments” to be had from […]

Over the weekend, it appears that Motorola has updated their chart outlining upgrades for several of their Android-based phones. Most phones are still only planned to be receiving Android 2.1 (Motorola Droid’s rollout has finished, while the Milestone is still currently being rolled out in stages for other international markets). For the Motorola Backflip, they’re […]

Yesterday, we reported that the Motorola Devour for Verizon Wireless could be seeing an update within the week. This morning, one of our readers (thanks, Chris!) informed us that he received the now confirmed update for his phone late last night. The update took just a few minutes to download and apply, and it should […]

It’s easy to forget about Verizon’s latest phone with all of the fuss about their upcoming Droid Incredible (HTC Incredible if you aren’t used to the new name, yet). Android Central leaked a flier which shows that an update for the Motorola Devour is on its way. This isn’t the big 2.1 update we’re looking […]

The marriage between NFL wide receiver Chad Ochocinco and Motorola is a very unlikely one. Soon after the announcement of their Cliq (Get it? No? It was worth a shot.), we learned that the two would move forward in promoting MOTOBLUR – the custom Android UI that Motorola is using to set themselves apart and […]
